Sounds like light shock to me. BTA's are not immune from the stresses caused by capture, and sometimes will expel their zooanthalea as a defence mechanism. Yours looks to be missing a whole bunch of it, and when you put in in your tank it probably went "ouch" under your lighting. What were the lights like at the LFS compared to yours?
I would keep it under lower light if possible and absolutely feed it at night if that is when it seems more lively. Good luck.
